Phonological transformations as correspondence relations #
[Jar16b] (Ch. 7) models a phonological process as a relation between input and output
strings, presented by a set of correspondence graphs and carved out by banned-subgraph
constraints, which is what makes the relation local. A correspondence graph is a two-tier
representation with the input over true, the output over false, and the correspondence arcs
as its links; precedence is the order on each tier. A banned subgraph is a factor
(AR.FactorEmbeds), so an output-only markedness constraint is a factor with an empty input
tier and no links.
Main definitions #

References #
A correspondence representation is a finite two-tier representation, the input over
true and the output over false, on a vertex type in Type, where AR.ofData builds.
Equations
- Autosegmental.Correspondence.Rep S T = { G : Autosegmental.AR Sigma.fst // Finite G.obj.V }
Instances For
The input string is the true-tier word.
Equations
- G.input = Autosegmental.AR.tierWord true
Instances For
The output string is the false-tier word.
Equations
- G.output = Autosegmental.AR.tierWord false

Equations
- Autosegmental.Correspondence.relRep CG w v = ∃ (G : Autosegmental.Correspondence.Rep S T), CG G ∧ G.input = w ∧ G.output = v
Instances For
The process specified by banned subgraphs φ (Jardine's CG(φ)) holds of the
representations free of every forbidden pattern.

Instances For
A string relation is local when presented by a finite banned-subgraph grammar over correspondence representations.
Equations
Instances For
Banned-subgraph grammars compose by union, the L^NL_G conjunction of two local
constraint sets.
The empty grammar specifies all of GEN.
A grammar tests its banned subgraphs one by one.
